West Salem Visual Arts

WSHS Art Student Wins National Honor!

West Salem Senior Julia Schomberg recently was named Second Runner up in the Dr. Seuss "Oh the Places You'll Go" National Scholarship search.  Her work was voted one of the top three out of 140 finalists nationwide.

To enter this scholarship, Julia was required to submit an original work that was based on her interpretation of the book "Oh the Places You'll Go".  Her work, "As the Crow Flies" (above), was submitted to the Scholarship Committee. 

Here are the Committee's comments on Julia's work:

"Clever use of materials, the map being flipped onto the side to make it less readable, acting more as a visual background...The ambiguity of the meaning of the crow in different cultures, as a good or bad omen, in this case symbolizes both the positive and negative aspects of Seuss' story."

 For her efforts, Julia will receive a framed Oh, the Places You’ll Go! limited
edition print from The Art of Dr. Seuss collection.  Congratulations Julia!
